About GPT4All
GPT4All runs large language models privately on everyday desktops and laptops. Download the app and start chatting in minutes, with no API calls or GPUs required, so your prompts and the model's responses never leave your machine.
LocalDocs lets you point the chat at your own files and get grounded answers from them, all processed locally. For developers, a Python client built around llama.cpp implementations brings the same local models into your own code.
Native installers cover Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu, with a community-maintained Flathub build for other Linux distributions. GPT4All is open source and available for commercial use.
